wasmCloud is an open source CNCF framework that enables teams to build, manage, and scale secure, polyglot WebAssembly applications across any cloud, Kubernetes, or edge environment.
wasmCloud is an open source Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project that enables teams to build, manage, and scale polyglot apps across any cloud, K8s, or edge.
wasmCloud is designed for platform and development teams looking to deploy scalable, portable, and secure WebAssembly-based applications across diverse cloud and edge infrastructures. It simplifies managing thousands of polyglot apps with reusable components and seamless integration with Kubernetes and cloud providers, enabling faster development cycles and vendor-neutral deployments.
wasmCloud emphasizes security by default and vendor neutrality, making it suitable for organizations aiming to avoid vendor lock-in while deploying secure, scalable WebAssembly applications. Users should familiarize themselves with WebAssembly concepts and CNCF ecosystem tools like Kubernetes for optimal integration.
